England went from cruising to chaos in Perth. After starting Day 2 in control, they lost nine wickets in a single session and handed Australia the advantage.

Ex-England star Michael Vaughan and cricket writer Bharat Sundaresan break down the drama with former England bowler Alex Hartley: England’s risky batting approach, Mitchell Starc’s heroic 10-wicket haul, and Travis Head’s sensational innings that flipped the Test on its head.

Why did England repeat mistakes from 2023? How did Australia seize the momentum? And what does this mean for the series? We cover every twist, tactic, and talking point from a wild two days of Ashes cricket.
